A method for providing a user interface (UI) in an electronic device includes determining at least a starting keyword from a given target database, and associating each said starting keyword with a function of the electronic device; determining at least a linking keyword from a user profile database; creating a keyword tree from the at least a starting keyword and the at least a linking keyword, wherein the keyword tree has at least two layers, and the at least a linking keyword is placed in an upper layer relative to the at least a starting keyword; and providing the keyword tree on the electronic device for a user to browse and thereby select at least a said starting keyword by at least a said linking keyword on the keyword tree, thus starting the function.

A health check evaluation indicator building method includes the following steps. A visualization process is performed to produce source graphic data on a plurality of features and attributes according to a time series, wherein each of the source graphic data includes a group number. Then, a similarity comparison is performed between the source graphic data and a plurality of target graphic data with the same group number to produce a plurality of similarity scores, where the minimum thereof corresponds to role model graphic data. Based on the role model graphic data, one of a best proposal and an alternative proposal is selected and a result thereof is fed back after execution. A health check evaluation indicator building system and a computer readable medium to embody the above method are also disclosed.
